"Where are we exactly?" Xu Chen, Qingyin, and Star Dance walked through the fields and saw several elderly farmers working in the distance.

Star Dance looked at the castle standing in the mountains in the distance and the attire of the farmers and said, "Speaking of which, this place reminds me a bit of my hometown. It seems that no matter what kind of world it is, similar civilizations can happen by chance."

"Star Dance..." Qingyin suddenly said, "I... I'm thirsty."

"Huh?" Xu Chen looked at Qingyin, feeling surprised. "Qingyin, with our cultivation level... but now that you mention it, I also feel thirsty and, no, I feel hungry!"

Star Dance stood on the edge of the field, looking at the rice crops with a pensive expression. "Perhaps our powers have returned to that of ordinary people, and we now have the various needs of ordinary human bodies."

"Huh?" Qingyin put her hands on her hips and looked into the distance. "What should we do then?"

"So!" Star Dance pondered, "Things are more complicated than we imagined. Although we don't know about Izayoi and the others, and we don't know how dangerous this world is, we must first ensure that we don't starve to death!"

"Huh? Is it really that bad?" Star Sakura couldn't imagine.

"Look, most of these fields are barren and uncultivated. The few farmers are all elderly, and you can even see signs of burning by the roadside. It's obvious that this place is in the midst of war and famine! In such a world, to have a meal and survive is the biggest challenge for most people!" Star Dance said.

"Then, Star Dance, what should we do? Drink spring water and eat wild fruits?" Xu Chen asked.

"Little Xu Chen, you are so naive! In this famine era, do you think there are wild fruits everywhere? Let's go! Let's first go to the city and take a look!" Star Dance said.

The three of them crossed the fields and arrived at the outskirts of the city.

There was a small town here.

There weren't many houses, only a few hundred. There were also some shops along the street leading to the city, but at first glance, they were all elderly people, children, women, and yellow dogs, very desolate.

When Xu Chen saw a restaurant, he wanted to go in directly!

"Xu Chen! What are you doing!" Star Dance stopped him.

"Rarely do we come to this otherworld, of course, we should taste the local delicacies!" Xu Chen said.

"Hehe!" Qingyin laughed, "I mean, do you have money?"

"Money?" Xu Chen was stunned!

They were currently only wearing ordinary sleeveless shirts and skirts, and canvas shoes. Star Sakura was dressed in black, while Star Dance was in purple-red.

Xu Chen wore navy blue pants and a white cloth shirt.

They checked their pockets and found them empty!

"We don't even know what money looks like in this world!" Xu Chen shrugged.

"Then you want to go to the restaurant and eat! Do you want a free meal?" Star Sakura scolded.

"Hehe!" Star Dance pulled Star Sakura and said, "Let's explore around first before deciding!"

They strolled along the market street, which was quite deserted. They mainly bought some agricultural products, local specialties, coarse cloth, and there was only one shop selling ironware, but they were all farming tools.

"This town is really desolate!" Qingyin said.

At this time, they walked to the outskirts of the city, and there were notices posted in front of the wall at the foot of the mountain. Two guards with long spears were guarding, and a crowd of people gathered around to read.

Xu Chen and the others also went over to take a look.

When they arrived at the notice, they saw a white paper posted in the wooden frame, with ancient characters written vertically on it. However, Xu Chen and the others seemed to have naturally learned this kind of writing since they arrived in this world.

"Recruitment notice..."

"Recruitment?!" Xu Chen's eyes lit up.

"Look!" Qingyin said, "It says that they are recruiting soldiers for a recent western expedition. Each person can receive a hundred coins and two meals a day!"

"Not bad!" Star Dance said, "Even if we want to make money in this desolate town, it's probably difficult. We don't have any skills or capital, but we are good at fighting! Why don't we join the army? Not only will we have something to eat, but we can also further understand this world!"

"Star Dance is right! Join the army! Join the army!" Xu Chen shouted excitedly.
